Hon. j. E. Brunette, of Logan

Dardanelle Post. Hon j. E. Bur
nette, OF Logan county, elected rep
resentatlve to the General Assembly
by the wheelers, has formally pub
lished hts withdraw from the wheel
We do not know that this is an act
calling for general condemnation from
wheelers, or for general approval by
democrats, but it is subject deserv
ing of some thought. i we re.
mem Der the facts correctly, Mr.. Bur.
nette was the only man on the Logan
county wheel ticket who was elected
That being true it is quite regular
to ask whether his election was due
to his high standing In the wheel, t.
his fitness for the position, he was
elected to, or to his personal popular
ity. That Mr., Rurnette should be
the only successful candidate on the
wheel ticket and should also be the
first to publicly announce his with
drawal from that organization, is
certainly worthy OF consideration.

THE improved condition of bust
ness among Legitimate trades, an6
the constant depression among Wal
street sharks is an excellent sign
1t shows that moneyed men are keep
ing out of the wild cat speculation
of the great gambling center, and
are devoting their attention to and
putting their surplus capital in le
gltimate, safe and honest business
If congress would enact stringent
laws prohibiting the pernicIous forms
of gambling done under the guse Of
dealing in cotton futures, provisions
and supplies, the occupation of these
Wall street shyloeks would be gone

Challenged to a Discussion but
Failed to Appear.

Arkansas Gazette Correspondence.
Dover, Sept. Z, 1SS7.-As stated
by your Atkins correspondent, sir.
Mallett made square backdown in
the matter Of The political discussion
at that place on Saturday last.
Prof. j. M Mallett, the high peda-
gogue of Caglesville, the county lect-
urer Of the Wheel and knights Of La
Dor in Pope county, and the biggest
political demagogue, on small scale,
in the state OF Arkansas. He com
menced early last summer to can
vass the county Tin the rural dis
tricts be it remem bered) making
speeches in the interest of the
Knights Of Labor. Horace Bradley,
an attorney of Dover, was earnestly
solicited by a number of leading
democrats to challenge Mr. MaIlet
to a discussion Of the issues which
be termed the political issues. AT
ter deal of equivocation and circum-
locution, the discussion was arrang-
ed for the 23d of July last, and took
place before an audience OF about
600 citizens OF Pope county, at Rus
sellville. On that day Mr.. Thomp
son, who holds, or did hold some
state position on the Knights of
Labor slate, appeared pursuant to
previous arrangement to organize a
local lodge in Russellville, Mallett,
Thompson and the whole crew were
so mp'etelv routed in that discuss
ion, or to express it in conventional
vernacuar, spanked" that they
made an ingominious failure IN or
ganizing, and crept ont Of Russell
vile the worst whipped set that ever
entered that town. Upon further
solicitation, Mr.. Bradley again chal.
lenged Mallet to continue the dis
cussion at Atkins, and the time
stated by your correspondent was
agreed upon and the terms of the
discussion arranged By the Hon. J.
G. Wallace upon the part of Bradley
and Prof J.T. Wharton upon the part
of Mallet. Pursuant to that agree
ment Bradley went to Atkins, end
after awaiting for more than an hour
after the time set apart for the dis
cussion, responded to call made by
the audience, briefly presented the
position OF the democratic party upon
the issues Of the day and exposed
the fallacy and demagoguery Of the
*. of l.. movement as new political
party. 1t was a clear case of back
down and shows clearly the so called
new party are afraid to send cham
pion to meet man who, IN a single
discussion, so completely annlhlated
their boosted orator that the had no
appetite for second spanking"
